But Battuta's story is just as fascinating, as this 1829 translation of his diaries, by British Orientalist REV. SAMUEL LEE (1783 -1852), demonstrates. Embarking upon what would eventually be a 27-year pilgrimage, Battuta traveled through East Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and beyond, bringing him to most of the 14th-century Islamic world. Rife with beautiful descriptions of the exotic peoples he met and landscapes he saw, this little--known classic of medieval literature will enthrall scholars of Islamic history and armchair travelers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47581729390743,"sku":"9781616402624","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781616402624.webp?v=1774921182","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-travels-of-ibn-battuta-in-the-near-east-asia-and-africa-9781616402624","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
